Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'DB2OLEDB' for linked server 'linked_server_name' returned data that does not match expected data length for column 'column_name'. The (maximum) expected data length is xx, while the returned data length is yy.
